32, USAF. Got my 1992 Japanese RHD FD for $3,500... but since then it's cost me a hell of a lot more.
P.S. Yes, they sold FDs in 1992 in Japan.

23 US Navy enlisted, Intel type. I plan on buying an FD when I get back from the Gulf. Figure I got a couple weeks in the states to find one before transferring to Europe. If not I will have to settle with an RHD 3rd gen (which will be expensive and a BITCH to get back to the states).

Yeah, I'm a honda type who has seen the light and wants to transfer to rotary.

i'm 22 and an engineering student at JSR CC working on transferring. i'm also a part time mechanic and work for a catering company for extra cash.

i bought my SSM touring FD for $4500 earlier this year. it's been garage kept and looks cherry, but is in need of a rebuild on the block and twins.
